I'm not understanding the custom template too much, we can put our own words on it? We could put like s0mnambulant is n00b in giant letters across the front.

I know they got the DA22's, DA28's, and RL2002's. Not sure about the other models & prices as I don't ususally sell anything. You can always call in and find out quick.

Haha. Just signed up w/ my friends as a "family" for the Ride for Heart (75km DVP ride).
We wanted to make our name Team Discovery or Discovery Channel but it was already taken
So now our family team name is called Asians in Scarborough. harhar, don't hate.
If anyone wants to join our "family" and because you're too lazy to raise MAD funds, PM me.

I LOVE my old Italian wool jersey.
I've got a couple design thingies on the go, but I'll totally be able to do track flyer and jersey design in a week or so. I also have the link for Cavern's Jersey guy and some templates.

Sweet frame. I dig the 80's style pink script. Reminds me of a Plantinum Blonde album cover.

So.... you admit to knowing what such a cover looks like?
I can almost picture the hair on ya man.

32flavours... older or younger brother? Hmmm to give it to him or to keep, that's quite the sibling dilemma.

As well for the photography buffs here I do have a couple copies of the Contact passport with all the things going on this month.

I have the book too, but there's just SO much to choose from.. when faced with too many options I usually wind up picking none.

Thank-you Op, it does mean alot to be cool at 40.... sheesh it's weird sayin' it ... 40. *shutters*

I AM, however, looking forward to 42, as that will be my life, the universe and everything year.

Anyone been to the CyclePath at Duff/Bloor recently? Good shoe selection?
talk to Randall or Jim up at the Sweet Pete's Cyclepath. Tell em I sent you up there....they should give you a good deal.

I had a fellow in here on Tuesday. Riding a nice older Pinarello road bike. We chatted for a while...he told me he was 82!! I commented on how great he looks for his age...he responded that he has been riding daily his whole life and credits this for his good health. When he was ready to leave he rolled his bike outside and did the one foot on pedal, push off, throw leg over saddle remount. Good Times.
